Fatty acid issues & mito

[Guest guest]

Dear Barbara,

Please excuse my ignorance, but the " heat shock proteins " you mentioned

gave me pause. Do they have anything at all to do with how we handle

heat and dehydration?

When I told my neuro last week of the episodes I've had of scary heat

exhaustion, and of Dr. Cohen's belief that chronic headaches in mito are

caused by dehydration from intracranial hypotension, she said that I

have to be one of those people you always see in NYC carrying around

their water bottles. We both got a laugh when she said that some of the

bottles look like they are little baby bottles. We both mocked the

Hollywood types you see, always sucking on their bottles....

Thank you very much!

Hmmm...HSPs have a very complex role in cellular metabolism, but in

the few cases I've seen of confirmed defects in HSP70 and HSP60, I

don't recall any mention of heat exhaustion or dehydration. These

were children with catastrophic illness.

I think hydration is critical for all of us mito folks! And a lot of

us are sensitive to heat and cold, but there are probably other

explanations for that.

Below I will paste the abstract I posted for

about secondary beta ox problems in a child with a primary

defect in the electron transport chain. In that case, the authors

felt the biochemical evidence clearly indicated that the

abnormalities in beta ox were secondary.

Thank you so much Barbara. You've been extremely helpful in helping me to

understand all of this! I'll let you know how my appt. with Dr Korson goes on

Thursday.
